The Cleveland Museum of Art is proud to welcome violinst Ray Chen to Gartner Auditorium on Wednesday, February 12 as part of its 2013-14 Performing Arts Series. Check out a behind-the-scenes video from their rehearsal!
The story of the brave men and women who worked to rescue Europe's greatest art treasures during World War II has been brought to the silver screen in The Monuments Men. But did you know that monuments men also served in Japan? Learn more about one of those Monuments Men, Sherman Lee, former director of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
In conjunction with the museum's Hank Willis Thomas exhibition, the CMA hosted a Blueprint Roundtable event on Sunday, February 2. See photos and watch a video from the event on our blog!
Tomorrow, Hank Willis Thomas speaks at the Cleveland Museum of Art in person in a special guest lecture. But first, he sat down to chat with us about his influences, messages, and mediums of his work. Check out his shout-out in the clip on our blog!
The Cleveland Museum of Art's British miniatures are renowned for their exceptional quality. Coinciding with the opening of the Cleveland Museum of Art's Disembodied: Portrait Miniatures and Their Contemporary Relatives exhibition, the museum recently published British Portrait Miniatures. Authored by Associate Curator of European Art, Cory Korkow, the book takes a closer look at more than seventy treasures from the museum's extraordinary collection, many published for the first time.
In honor of one year of Gallery One, we will be hosting a live Twitter Q&A on Thursday, January 30 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. EST, and invite you to share your thoughts and questions about Gallery One's technology and design, content and interpretation, and what we've learned along the way.
The Truth Booth is a giant inflatable speech bubble and interactive video recording booth by Cause Collective artists Ryan Alexiev, Jim Ricks, and Hank Willis Thomas. It will pop up around town through March - find out where on our blog, and share your truths in the Truth Booth!
While walking the west wing galleries where the collections are on view, one can't miss the the sculpture of Brahma in the center of the exhibition. The object, acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2007, was actually first titled Shiva as Brahma before being renamed Brahma. Why the name change? We asked Sonya Quintanilla, George P. Bickford curator of Indian and Southeast Asian art, to talk about the history and identity of this particular work of art.

Search engine spiders cannot scroll to the bottom of a page like an ordinary user, trigger the request for more content, and then wait to retrieve it for indexation.
Hence content only accessible via infinite scroll simply won't be seen and therefore won't make it into the respective search engine results listings.
The good news is there are easy solutions so that infinite scroll poses no problem for search, and in fact can also provide an opportunity to maximise user experience and maximise SEO value in tandem.
Infinite Scroll and SEO
What is it?
Most of us engage with infinite scrolling on a daily basis, most frequently with Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
It occurs when you scroll down to the bottom of a page of tweets, posts or other content and the page automatically updates to append more to the bottom, and does so again and again as you hit the bottom of the page each time (the scroll isn't infinite however as the name misleadingly suggests).
A variation of infinite scroll is infinite 'page'. Whilst the underlying architecture is broadly the same, the intention of each is quite different.
With an infinite scroll the expectation is that more and more content is added to the stream at regular intervals, whereas with an infinite page the expectation is that the narrative has a clear beginning and end and it won't really be added to if at all (so even less infinite than the very finite infinite scroll).
A good example of an infinite page is the Renault Ze website which uses infinite scroll to tell a story and is not designed to regularly accommodate new content.
What are the SEO impacts?
Search engine spiders cannot scroll to the bottom of a page like an ordinary user, trigger the request for more content, and then wait to retrieve it for indexation.
Therefore, a web-page utilising infinite scroll will by default serve the search engine spider the first page of results and nothing more.
This means that lots of great content may never be seen by a search engine if there is no other mechanism in place to serve as a path to that content.
Content only accessible via the infinite scroll will simply not be seen and therefore will not make it into the respective search engine results listings.
You can check whether you have an infinite scroll or infinite page issue by emulating a search engine's experience with your site.
You can do this by checking what Google has captured of your infinite scrolling page – just type in 'cache:www.yourdomain.com' into Google and click on 'Text Only' and see what is missing and what the crawl path to your content looks like.
What are the possible solutions?
Various sources suggest that infinite scroll should be avoided as it is bad for SEO. That is incorrect and unfair – anything poorly designed and executed is likely to be bad for SEO and infinite scroll isn't inherently bad.
There are easy solutions so that infinite scroll poses no problem for SEO and in fact it can also provide an opportunity to maximise user experience and maximise SEO value at the same time.
The most popular and most effective solution is to implement some graceful degradation, otherwise known as progressive enhancement. This is where web techniques are used in a layered fashion so that every user receives a comparably functional and pleasant experience regardless of the capabilities of their browser or device.
So for basic browsers, a site with progressive enhancement will gracefully degrade the user experience without impacting accessibility negatively, and an advanced browser will find their user experience elevated if it meets various capability criteria.
Search engine spiders would qualify in that browser/device category.
Therefore, when the page is viewed by a search engine spider the site should automatically provide a suitable replacement for the infinite scroll.
For most sites, this replacement is the appending of traditional pagination links, e.g. Previous 1 | 2 |3 | 4| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | Next.
This second approach would be considered the most desirable, mainly due to concerns over the relative value search engines place on content within a noscript container given it isn't designed to be universally seen by all, and a general suspicion of the container due to its aggressive utilisation by spammers historically.
Google's rel next/prev tags can also be used with this pagination to control how many of your first few pages you'd like Google to treat as being at the same level hierarchically.
This is useful when you're not adding new content all the time and/or when the topic of your items (posts for instance) are highly searched for within search engines and will continue to be so for a while, so Google viewing them as residing on your homepage (or higher up than they actually reside) for longer, may be very desirable.
Some implementations take this progressive enhancement a step further and replace the infinite scroll functionality with an indexable archive, typically broken down by months of the current year, and then previous years, leading into a further breakdown into months on subsequent pages.
Mashable's infinite scroll is a good example. It degrades for search engines to the most recent content, and then ends with this:
This achieves two complementary goals. Firstly, it means that a search engine can get to content that is below the infinite scroll trigger point. Secondly, this also acts as a great archive ensuring that there is a crawl path to every single piece of content ever produced by Mashable.
Logic can also be built into this archival mechanism to ensure that the crawl path (the number of clicks away from the homepage particularly) is reduced for the most popular pages (based on historical visits or shares, for instance).
Purists may be concerned with Mashable's implementation as the site is ultimately showing the search engine different content than you are showing to most users.
This does not however qualify as cloaking as the intent is clearly not to game the search engines but rather to facilitate their traversal through the site because they cannot behave like a human being and keep scrolling until they reach the very bottom.
There is a line to be drawn here though, as the solution would also allow you to insert a footer into your pages for those people (and search engines) that cannot physically execute the infinite scroll.
Intent becomes very important at this stage; a footer that includes links to an 'about us' page, a sitemap and a copyright notice is clearly not designed to game any one network.
Conversely, if the obfuscated footer region includes lots of commercial keywords and looks as though it is designed just for search engine ranking purposes, you do run the risk of raising the suspicions of Google et al and incurring a penalty as a result.
Best practice with footers, within the infinite scroll and degradation context, would be to either create a sticky footer (see an example here), which you need to ensure is accessible to search engines itself.
Another option is to relocate the footer to a sidebar visible to everyone - see any Twitter page (Coca Cola's here) for a great example of this, or any personal Facebook newsfeed (which are uncrawlable of course by search engines).
This second approach would be considered optimal as it is difficult to implement a sticky footer that users actually like and appreciate, and that ultimately adds value to both you and them.
Facebook incidentally is also a good example of how not to do this as Facebook brand pages have a footer that appears at the bottom of the page momentarily when you visit the page, and then disappears forever when the infinite scroll script kicks in.
Ultimately, infinite scroll has proved a valuable UI innovation for many brands and for many it has become a defining element of their publishing mechanism.
The hard part is determining whether your users want infinite scroll, whether it improves their engagement levels, and whether it is too much effort for too little return.
Making infinite scroll work from an SEO perspective is in fact the easy bit, assuming you select the optimal solution and implement it properly (see solutions grid below).

Really useful bit of advice. Our SEO team were discussing this recently.
Good post, I admit that I haven't thought about this before until now.
Ease of use of infinite scroll compared to traditional pagination is not really the issue.
The real issue for users, especially for ecommerce sites is the user knowing where they are and where the products they like are.
Google Images and Pinterest both use infinite scroll, but provide no guidance as to where on the page you are as the pretty much load as one long page.
Websites need to utilise pagination on infinite scroll so that the visitor knows where there are on the page and can easily find there way back to viewed products.
After the last update of Google's now its really very difficult to SEO for a site but your presentation was very nice and it gives me some new idea. Thank you so much for your post.
Never thought about the impact of infinite scroll related to SEO before. Some good food for thought :)
thanks for your wonderful writeup earlier i am really no way near to this.got the points now by your informative post
Great blog Andreas. We're currently in the process of redesigning our website and thinking of implementing infinite scrolling on our blog page so your tips will now definitely come into use for our web developer!
It is annoying that Google cannot build spiders to understand such a widespread phenomenon, or alternatively, they can understand it but they cannot be bothered to tell us rather like they failed to understand JS for donkeys years, except that they could.
As always, you are better off ignoring the inadequacies of Google and making the page wonderful. As another commenter pointed out, you probably dont want to use techniques like this for ecommerce pages.
Thanks a lot Andreas. Great insights and tips. Majority of Tumblr users use infinity scrolling. So I had a go and after reading your post I had a look at some of the brands/users. Well, some of them could be better of turning it off completely or apply your tips.
From the user/visitor point of view; I'm fan of infinite scrolling however only for telling the story rather than normal product page where products are added on a regular basis.
Interesting blog Andreas. I had been wondering about this. Surely it is only a mater of time until Google and other search engines will understand infinite scroll pages. Have you any thoughts on how difficult this would be and how long it may take Google to develop? My vote has to be with making content that works well for humans.
Very good at highlighting the issue of scroll on SEO.
It is bad that what is essentially a user experience enhancement ends off being a SEO bomb unless you are very careful.
Interesting post - we have implemented infinite scroll using a Magento extension which claims to not have any negative SEO effects (I'm new to the company so I'm currently trying to make sure that is the case).
We do currently have a potential usability issue though - the URLs are appended to display which page you're viewing, which breaks the back button so potentially confuses users.
On the whole I think that the benefits outweigh the negatives but will be doing some testing to confirm that.
This is great to recap on. Always finding good content on your blog.
well done.
Hey I found this article very helpful. Great Blog content. Thanks !
I recently implemented infinite scrolling on my site and I wasn't aware of this. Thanks!

I wrote about my backup strategy a couple of days ago, describing the tools I am currently using to back everything up on my laptop.
Once I'd written it down it initially appeared quite comprehensive, and I was quite pleased with myself. I soon realised that there are holes, though, because not every tool is used to back everything up.
Each tool is used for one or more types of data, and only a few types of data are covered by more than one tool. For example:
- Email
- Mozy (automatically,daily)
- external hard drives using GoodSync (when I think of it, every few days)
- Gmail (automatically, not all accounts are picked up)
- High use documents
- Regular use documents –
- Mozy (automatically,daily)
- netbook (when I think of it or when I get home)
- external hard drives (when I think of it, every few days)
- Business documents –
- Photos (other than family history, which are stored with the documents)
- Music
- External hard drives
- MP3 player
- the original CDs
- Social media
- Blogs backed up by WordPress plugin and sent by email
- Facebook and Twitter not backed up at all!!!
It may be apparent to you, as it is to me, that my photos and music are at risk here. There is 30-40 GB of pictures and 20-30GB of music, so online backups are not the answer. They had to be evicted from my laptop when it ran out of space. As I said, I bought another external hard drive but I'm still not comfortable. If I lost my music I would have to spend hours ripping it back off the CDs, which would be a pain but could be done. I probably wouldn't do as many if I had to do it all again.
If I lost the photos, though, I'd be devastated. The earlier ones were scanned from prints or negatives and I still have those, but later ones…
My social media needs some work, too.
So I still have some work to do. I'll have another look at Backupify and perhaps I'll make greater use of Flickr.
Any suggestions?

How Often is Rift Updated?
The short, and quick answer, is VERY often. Here are a few links outlining the changes to the game in the last 20 months of so:
What are the Classes and Souls in Rift? – Credit to Zarasi for this post
- Paladin - Tank with some group and self healing capabilities, somewhat akin to the paladin of WoW
- Reaver - death-based DoT tank somewhat akin to a death knight
- Void Knight - A tank that ruins the days of many a caster. Still able to tank physical encounters of course, but anti-magic is their theme.
- Warlord - a Dps soul that has some tank utilities as well as the ability to block without a shield. somewhat of a typical up in your face warrior
- Champion - a DPS soul that is most effective in aoe scenarios, having many abilities which gain in power when more targets are available.
- Paragon - a DPS soul that is almost exclusive single target. Has the follow-up attack theme, where some attacks can only be used immediately following an attack point builder. these tend to be the meatiest abilities and hard hitters of the bunch.
- Riftblade - and elemental DPS warrior who also has moderate aoe cabalities and a few ranged attacks. Based entirely on magical damage
- Beastmaster - a Bleed-based warrior who summons a giant cat, this is a Support soul that performs best by amplifying the power of his group members, rather than his personal dps.
- Tempest - a Ranged DPS soul that channels powerful lightning strikes through their weapons, bringing the storm to their enemies. As one might imagine, they are less powerful in melee range than a melee soul would be.
- Assassin - Tried and true stealthy stealth stabby stabby. Based on physical damage, from-stealth attacks, bleeds, and poisons. similar to a WoW rogue.
- NightBlade - A stealth based rogue who wields attacks based heavily in fire and death, dealing almost no physical damage at all. Many of their attacks, even from-stealth attacks, can be used at range, though they are most effective in melee.
- Saboteur - a medium-range rogue that specialises in the use of traps, remote-detonated charges and other high-explosives. The saboteur is primarily based on area damage and being a little bit tactical - good trap and landmine placement can make it hard to approach a prepared player.
- Bladedancer - a purely physical rogue with a unique attack rhythm. Many abilities can only be used to follow certain other abilities in the rotation (kind of like paragon from warrior) and weaving in cooldowns at the most effective moments. the bladedancer also has (or did last i played one) a number of evasive tools.
- Riftstalker - A rogue tank who is everywhere and nowhere all at once. far and away the most mobile of all souls, the riftstalker can teleport all across the battlefield, maintaining powerful partial-absorbtion shielding that makes them very tough to kill.
- Ranger: a hunter-esque ranged rogue with a pet. if you've played a hunter in WoW, ranger won't be anything new to you.
- Marksman: another ranged soul, this one focuses more on personal damage and foregoes the pet. also very mobile and tough to pin down. still pretty hunter-like.
- bard: as a support soul, the bard is sought after in raids and other group content, providing powerful buffs to his allies, debuffs to his enemies, and a little healing on the side.
- Tactician - Wielder of empyrean technology, this rogue uses powerful gadgets, group buffing cores, and flamethrowers in every flavor of the rainbow to deal burning freezing deathy death to groups of enemies and healing to groups of allies. and flamethrowers, did i mention those?
- Pyromancer - a fire mage. he burns things. what more need be said, really. guaranteed to appeal to the pyromaniac in all of us.
- Elementalist - a summoner of elemental minions, with four different pets to fit any situation. focus on dealing elemental damage in "cycles", which is to say that damage of one element makes a target more vulnerable to damage of the next element in the cycle, and so on.
- Stormcaller - master of ice and lightning, this mage deals aoe damage out the whazoo. best applied with freezing blizzards, scorching lightning storms, and all around painful aoe fun.
- Necromancer - summoner of undead minions, has several pets to fill several roles. has cooldowns that allow him to summon more pets. and yet more pets after that. if you want to be the one man army, this soul's for you. just watch out for rogues.
- Warlock - a master of death magic, this guy has so many DoTs that even the angry onyxia raid leader is satisfied. kinda like an affliction warlock of WoW, only with more dots. yes. more. dots.
- Dominator - a crowd control master with a sprinkling of aoe damage on the side, i'm pretty sure this guy has some kind of cc or debuff on like 90% of his abilities. he shuts you down and eats raw mana for breakfast with a side of lightning-charred warrior. If you want to pvp and make people hate you more than puremallace hates atrius, this is the soul for you.
- Archon - a Support mage that steals the strengths of his enemies, making them his own. Which he then gives to his group. he's got debuffs, he's got buffs, and he's got auras. and then he has more buffs. groups love you. bosses hate your power drain. set it all up so your groupmates can bring on the dps pain train even harder than before.
- Chloromancer - A life based healing mage that specializes in healing allies by casting offensive spells at his enemies. With an aura that allows his life damage spells to also heal his groupmates, this guy is a healer with a liberal sprinkling of pew pew. Has a few "traditional" healing spells to supplement his arsenal of damage-to-healing capabilities.
- Harbinger - Alternate spelling: harBANGER - the mage that is out to replace all your raid's warriors, the harbinger is a melee specialist who can transmute his staff into a sword, axe, or scythe and get up in the face of the enemy. Watch as bewildered warriors go "wtf" while YOU charge THEM and cut em up, while rogues stand around waiting for all those nonexistent cast-time spells to interrupt. Also has a mage armor that allows it to frequently insta-cast spells from other souls just to add to the fun. And of course, if the smell of stinky sweaty rogues and warriors offend you, you can blink away and summon your phantom blade to continue melee attacks from full spell range for a short time. He's a magic man who can fight like a bawss and (if you're a warrior), he's here to TAKE YOUR JOB. (THEY TIK OUR JIIIIIBS)
- Justicar - defender of the righteous, this tanking juggernaut can also throw out some healing on the side.
- Inquisitor - This spellcaster soul mixes searing light with painful death magic and does not like you. You have been judged and found wanting. Has a few DoT spells but is based mostly around bolts of light or death with the occasional face-melting channeled spell.
- Cabalist - This death-based caster deals absurd area damage with a combination of DoTs and delayed-blast attacks. Has some fun utilities as well, like raid-wide spell reflects. Trion saw that you liked to aoe so they put aoes in your aoes so you can aoe while you aoe and this is the love-child of that relationship.
- Warden - a water based healer, the warden specializes in area healing through so many HoT's a wow druid would get a hard-on just thinking about them. sure he cant shapeshift, but nobody liked furries anyways.
- Purifier - If you took a disc priest and gave him fire magic and about ten times as many shields, you'd have something that looked fairly close to this guy. Searing away all traces of your wounds he will then throw so many shields around that the boss will think your tank is a hacker because he never takes damage. Hangs out with pyromancers in his spare time.
- Sentinel - yet another healer, this one uses life/holy magic and has a ton of cooldowns to heal hard better faster and stronger, his work is never over because the tanks are gonna get overconfident and blame him for wipes anyways.
- Druid - A melee soul who's motto is "carry a big stick", he also summons a number of fae minions to suit the situation. Dedicated to Nature, he pounds foes with a massive hammer, crushing earth magic, and entangling life magic. Spends a somewhat large amount of time cleaning up after and aiding his satyr minion, who admittedly has somewhat of a drinking problem. MEAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDD. No actual trees were harmed in the making of his weapons.
- Shaman - This melee soul combines crushing melee attacks with shocking lightning strikes and freezing ice blasts colder than your ex-girlfriends heart to hammer your foes into next week. This guy is so tough he shovels his driveway in shorts and t-shirt. No matter how tempting it may seem, do not engage this warrior in a snowball fight. he'll throw the whole damn snowbank at you. every. time.
- Defiler - Healing to Die for! This wielder of death magic is going to save your live even if he has to kill y-.. i mean, transform you into something more aesthetically pleasing! Armed with powerful links that redirect damage from his allies to himself, which he then can absorb and gain power from the pain. this healer is based around stackable delayed heals which he may then trigger at will. Also has a number of offensive links called "bonds" which allow him to return damage, siphon healing, and even regain health when his target attacks! Has solid aoe damage as well and has a number of useful dps builds. On his off-days he is a makeup artist for horror movies. Don't worry, most of the.. aesthetic aspects of his healing will wear off eventually.
How do these Soul Thingies work? – Credit to Fencers for the below:
Well all one needs to understand is that the "soul system" is both a combination class and talent tree. A "soul" or otherwise class tree isn't strictly a talent tree:
Such as in the case of choosing Fire spec as a Mage in WOW. You get all the other Mage abilities [portals, arcane blast, frost bolt, etc] from just being Mage in WOW. That progression is both linear and singular.
The Fire tree are where [were] the talents lay. Picking up a few abilities here and there. But the basic abilities and nature of what you were was defined by being a Mage in WoW.
Or Warrior, Paladin, etc.
In Rift "mage" just a template.
Because one is not strictly a "fire mage" by equipping the Pyromancer class [or soul as they are called in game]. Progression as a Pyromancer is vertical and horizontal.
^ As I invest talent points upward the bottom abilities are unlocked. A Pyromancer is entitled only to the abilities unlocked at the bottom of the talent tree. The so called "root abilities". Thus what you are as a Pyromancer in this sense is both defined by total invested points and unlocks. 2 points unlock this spell, 12 this other one, 20 another, etc.
But one might choose to add another class or soul to that Pyromancer. Such as...
^ Elementalist. A pet using class with broad elemental spells [fire, earth, lighting]. And thus progress upward and downward along the Elementalist's talent and abilities.
Gaining the force of both the Pyromancer and Elementalist.
A third might be added. Like this...
^ Adding Archon, a support/DPS mage class. Again, combing the full abilities of all three classes as you see fit to distribute points.
A Pyromancer will never get his "frost bolt" by virtue of just being a mage in Rift. Because your class is not Mage. Your "spec" is not Fire.
You are are what make of yourself, so to speak.
Rift has a lot of talk about Macros. How do these work exactly? - Credit to Fencers for the below
Storm Legion (the Rift expansion) they changed the way many skills work so that it is no longer effective to have 1-2 macros with like 9+ skills linked to just a couple of macros. It's just like Warcraft basically- procs, buffs, skill priorities.
Some of them won't even work because Rift's macro system is... well, it's not a macro system at all. It's a fail through system. Meaning that skills fire sequentially as long as they are off cool down.
An old Rift macro would have looked like this:
cast Rift Strike (15/s CD)
cast Frost Strike (15/s CD)
cast Searing Strike (no CD)
cast Charged Pulse (15/s CD)
cast Flamespear (15/s CD)
cast Shock Pulse (no CDs)
Bound to hotkey #1, each press of the 1 key would advance the macro one step. Nothing executes all at once in Rift. An old macro would work like so:
1st press: cast Rift Strike <- use if not on CD
2nd press: cast Frost Strike <- use if above skill is on CD
3rd press: cast Searing Strike <- use if above skill is on CD
4th press: cast Charged Pule <- use if above skill is on CD
5th press: cast Flamespear <- use if above skill is on CD
6th press: cast Shock Pulse <- use if above skill is on CD
In SL many of those type of macros have different timings which break a lot of old macros. Forcing some skills to have a more situational aspect now.
Above macro would partially no longer function in Storm Legion. Would be a MAJOR DPS loss too. Simply due to the fact you are not prioritizing or controlling buffs/debuffs with such macros any longer.
In SL it would just break, like so;
1st press: cast Rift Strike (no CD) <- use this skill immediately
2nd press: cast Frost Strike (no CD) <- if above skill in on CD
3rd press: cast Searing Strike (no CD) <- if above skill in on CD
4th press: cast Charged Pule (15/s CD) <- if above skill in on CD
5th press: cast Flamespear (4/s CD) <- if above skill in on CD
6th pres: cast Shock Pulse (no CD) <- if above skill in on CD
As you can see, it would simply not work. Since the first skill will never be off CD. If you moved skills such as Rift Strike and Frost Strike lower in the macro sequence you would lose the buffs they provide. Benefiting from neither buff in any situation. Players have to control Frost Strike, Rift Strike, Charged Pulse and Flamespear individually to optimize damage.
Naturally, there are some soul combinations that have more easily macro'd abilities than others. The above example was merely theoretical. Nonetheless, SL went a long way to breaking a lot of the heavy macro-ing of Rift for serious play.
What is this Storm Legion you keep mentioning? - Credit to Tarien for the below information
Storm Legion is Rif'ts first expansion and launched on November 13th.

you can call Trion support (many different numbers for different countries are provided) or e-mail them. Here ya go:
Are there any addons in Rift?
The short answer is yes, the long answer is that Rift's UI is almost entirely customizable in game, so not a lot of addons are needed to enhance the aesthetic aspects of the game. Also, frequent updates have placed a heavy demand on the creators and addons usually go out of date very quickly. nevertheless, Addons are hosted on curse.com and RiftUI.com.

David Moyes hopes to surpass the achievements of Sir Alex Ferguson during his maiden campaign at Old Trafford by leading Manchester United to glory in every competition next season.
Manchester United's treble in 1998-99 - when they won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - was the most iconic success of Ferguson's illustrious reign, and Moyes now has his sights set on a quadruple.
Moyes arrives at Old Trafford having won only one trophy in his managerial career - the Division Two title with Preston 13 years ago - but is bullish about his prospects following his appointment at Manchester United.
"You have to do well in all competitions — not just the Premier League," Moyes told The Sun.
"When you are at Manchester United my thinking is you have to go for everything, you attempt to win everything.
"Maybe you miss out sometimes, but you have to try to win all the trophies.
"I've done it everywhere else I've been and I'll certainly do it here because I have a bigger squad, quality players and a club with the tradition of being used to winning things."
Moyes officially began work as Manchester United boss last week having been hand-picked by Ferguson to replace him after the veteran Scot lowered the curtain on his career at the end of last season.
And the 50-year-old hopes that Ferguson's faith in him will immediately earn the respect of the charges he inherited from his compatriot.
Moyes added: "I've talked to the players and told them I hope they respect his decision to pick me."

gUnify Launches Integrated Voice for Google Apps Resellers and Broadsoft Service Providers
gUnify launches their unified communication system connecting Google Apps Resellers to an enterprise voice solution via Broadsoft.
Feb 13, 2013, 07:45 EST
IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As the cloud matures, Google Apps resellers are learning that they have to monetize their Google Apps services and strive to provide comprehensive solutions for their customers. gUnify leverages the global market penetration of Broadsoft service providers and connects them with over 6,000 potential Google Apps resellers worldwide.
"I've realized while working with Google Apps and other cloud services, that there are integral angles that need to be covered when functioning in a connected work environment. You of course need the webmail suite (Google Apps), but that alone doesn't maximize your potential. You need a reliable, malleable CRM, and you need a voice communications solution that can keep up with all this amazing technology. As a reseller with longevity, you need to know how to provide all of these solutions. We were missing that last angle. So we found a way," says Crisantos Hajibrahim co-founder and chief evangelist of gUnify.
Hajibrahim, and his team at gUnify, have developed a set of tools that makes business communications even easier: click to dial within Gmail, One Click Conference Calling published to your Google Calendar, Integrated Presence with Google Talk, and detailed call reporting synced with your Google contacts. Hajibrahim urges Google Apps resellers to explore what gUnify can do for their customers by contacting a Broadsoft service provider who is "gUnify ready."
Allen Falcon, CEO of Cumulus Global, Boston-based Google Reseller explained, "As a Google Apps reseller and proponent of cloud computing, I realized that I needed to offer bundled cloud solutions. gUnify was built around Google Apps and Voice is a necessary part of business these days. Within a week of joining the gUnify Partner program, we identified a midsize opportunity for a Google Apps customer wanting to replace their on-premise PBX phone system with a hosted voice service. gUnify was a perfect fit."
It is becoming clear that unified communication systems are the new standard for the high-functioning workplace. If Google Resellers learn to expand their horizons, the result will not only benefit them, but their customers as well. Adopting value added services, like gUnify, is essential to both short and long term success for any company functioning in the cloud.

Year 1 - Freshmen
Imagine being able to conduct research in another country for one year for free, or enrolling in graduate school where you are given $30,000 per year to attend, while having a prestigious award attached to your record that will greatly increase your ability to do whatever you want after graduation. If that sounds good, you should strongly consider applying for such opportunities during your senior year at Loyola. If you are a first-year student, the time to prepare is now!
Although applying for fellowships and scholarships for post-graduate work may seem like something to do in your senior year, my goal is to get Loyola students to think about such applications on their first day here. You have the flexibility in your schedule, and the ability to shape your college career, now more than ever. And it doesn't matter if you don't quite know where you're going yet.
If you have yet to declare a major, that's no problem. You can explore much of what Loyola has to offer while completing your core requirements. I recommend that you make a chart of what you might do during all semesters and summers while at Loyola. This draft will likely need to be altered and modified as you go along, but a tentative plan for the next few years will always help. If you have declared a major, make sure you understand all prerequisites needed, and think about other courses you want to build around that major. Also consider when you might be able to study abroad or take on an internship. Explore possible extra-curricular activities that interest you, and when you can take advantage of the many campus and community service possibilities offered here.
You may also want to change your perspective in some ways. For example, look at the "language requirement" as a great opportunity, not something to get out of the way, because many fellowships require students to possess good foreign language skills. If you "tested out" of Loyola's basic requirement, think of it instead as "testing in" to advanced courses, or consider other languages. In addition, supplement your language knowledge with other courses. As one example, if you are fluent in Spanish, consider interdisciplinary work in Latin American Studies and perhaps a study abroad location that will increase your fluency.
Although this tip may seem obvious, it needs to be said: be a great student. Attend class every day, participate, ask questions, talk to your professors, go beyond the minimum or the average and do your best, regardless if the course is in your major or something you "had to take". Build a transcript that makes positive impressions, not one that requires excuses. And always remember that you are taking a course to learn, and to increase your learning and research skills, not just to get 3 hours closer to graduation with a respectable GPA.
Along those lines, we often hear about "grade inflation", and how today's high grades are easier to get than they were in the old days. However, rarely do we hear about what I call "demand inflation", or the fact that much more is now expected from students who apply for post-graduate opportunities. A perfect 4.0 GPA as a senior, with no experience outside of the classroom, was golden in my day as an undergraduate, but not anymore, and it is difficult to do all the recommendations I have noted. But a plan does help. Seeking assistance for that plan also helps, from college and major advisors, your professors, and your friends with similar aspirations and ideas. It is common for juniors and seniors to be uncertain about what they want to do after graduation. However, when the light bulb does go on, a good plan that included many of the previous suggestions, implemented right from the start, will work to your advantage. Strong grades, community service work, study abroad experience, foreign language skills, and having professors eager to write strong letters of recommendation for you will always help you make the transition to where you choose to go from here.
If you are already a second or third year student, and haven't thought about these things, don't worry, because NOW is the time for you to get started as well. And if you can't wait for more advice on fellowships and scholarships, please consult this site for advice for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
Welcome to Loyola, and plan to make Loyola work for you.
Best wishes,
Dr. James M. Calcagno, Fellowship Director and Professor of Anthropology

Safety Tips - Things to Know
What do the sex offender levels mean?
Sex offender levels are determined by taking into account several factors about the offender and the nature of his or her crime in order to determine possible risks to the general public.
Washington state sex offender laws apply to juvenile as well as adult sex offenders. Adult and juvenile offenders are:
What is a registered sex offender?
Sex offenders are juveniles or adults who have committed a Class A, Class B, Class C felony or some gross misdemeanors and are required to register for life, fifteen years, and ten years, respectively.
Do offenders have restrictions on where they can live?
It depends on whether the offender is under supervision by the Department of Corrections or Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration. If offenders are under supervision they have certain limitations or restrictions placed on them by the Department of Corrections or the sentencing court upon their release from incarceration. These may include: residency restrictions, not being around children, having a curfew, or not drinking alcohol or taking drugs. If they are found to be in violation of their restrictions, they may be sent back to jail or to prison. Offenders who have completed their time under supervision can live where they choose without restrictions.
What do I do if I see the offender doing something I think is suspicious?
Call local law enforcement or the sheriff's office and report it. You may also choose to share your concerns with a local school resource officer. It is best to let law enforcement handle the situation rather than taking it into your own hands. You may send information on specific offenders directly to law enforcement by clicking the "submit a tip or correction for this offender" button in Offender Watch.
How do sex offenders' register? Where do sex offenders' register?
How and when a sex offender registers is covered by (RCW. 9A.44.130) and (RCW 9A.44.140).
Why did I receive a sex offender notification?
The Community Protection Act of 1990 (RCW 9A.44.130) requires a sex offender to register in the community where they live. Communities are notified when a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender registers a new address. The law is intended to make the public aware about a particular offender, the offender's conviction(s), and to share resources to help keep communities safe.
Why didn't I receive a sex offender notification?
Not every city or community mails out notification flyers or you may not live in the notification radius for a particular offender. It is up to each law enforcement jurisdiction to determine how they notify the community. Some cities post the information on their websites while others hand deliver flyers or mail postcards. Call your local police department or sheriff's office for more information.
Will I be notified when the sex offender moves?
No. The law requires communities be notified when sex offenders move into a community, not when they move out.
Why didn't I know about this sooner?
Flyers are mailed out after a person registers as a sex offender, and after the law enforcement jurisdiction in which they register requests, receives, and reviews all original information about the offender's offense. This can take two weeks to several months. Once all the necessary information is reviewed, the law enforcement jurisdiction may or may not change the sex offender's level. This review must be complete and an in-person verification that the offender is in fact residing at his or her registered address, before a community is notified.
Can I copy and distribute the notification?
If the community believes that notification was not sufficient, community members should contact law enforcement or the sheriff's office to discuss the issue. If you believe other community members should receive a notification flyer, you may copy and distribute the notification (within reason).
Are there things I cannot do?
Experts believe sex offenders are less likely to re-offend if they live and work in an environment free of harassment. Any actions taken against the individual named in the notification, including vandalism of property, verbal or written threats of harm; or physical violence against this person, his or her family, or employer, will result in arrest and prosecution of criminal acts. This information cannot be used in any way to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered offenders.
I'm not happy about this notification!
People respond in many different ways to receiving a sex offender notification. It is normal to feel upset, angry, and worried about a sex offender living in your community. The law was created to inform the public when a Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender moves into the community and to provide that community with education and resources.
Should I attend the community notification meeting?
At the meeting you will have an opportunity to hear different service providers speak about the particular offender moving into your area and about sex offenders in general. Topics may vary, but usually include information and history of sex offender laws and information regarding the particular offender. (Note: Under HIPPA, the privacy of every individual is protected. Information about the offender's treatment, medication, or diagnosis is not releasable by law.) Attending the meeting also provides an opportunity to connect with other members of your community. This can lead to further conversations and future planning of community protection.
Who can I expect to see at the meeting?
Members from local or county law enforcement; members from the Department of Corrections (DOC) and/or Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA) if the offender is under supervision; a representative from a community victim advocacy agency; and possibly members of the local school district.
Will the offender be at the meeting?
Offenders are strongly discouraged from attending the community notification meeting. On rare occasions a sex offender may be present, but are not part of the meeting agenda. Sometimes, family members and friends of the offender or victim present.
How can I talk to children about sex offender notification?
Talk with children in a calm way about the individual named on the notification flyer. Open communication with children is a parent's number one safety tool. For more information to help you talk with your child about notification of sex offenders, review the additional materials on this site
Where can I learn more about community protection?
Find out what community protection programs your neighborhood has by calling your local police department or sheriff's office. You can become involved in or start a neighborhood Block Watch, Citizens on Patrol, or other neighborhood safety program.

Because my wife I do not have children, I feel that it's important to bring in outside voices to talk about money and kids. This is a guest post from Cathy, who writes about family finances, parenting, and cooking at Chief Family Officer.
I would never in a million years want to give up my children just because they cost too much. But recently, the cost of having children hit home as I was reading J.D.'s post about the "third stage" of personal finance, which comes after one has mastered the fundamentals of living frugally, saving, and pursuing financial goals.
I have to admit: I grew a little envious reading that J.D. was beginning this third stage. I still consider myself to be firmly entrenched in the second stage — and I've been in this stage for years already, and will continue to remain in it for the foreseeable future.
And I realized that it's because I have kids. J.D. doesn't. Now that he's paid off his non-mortgage debt and begun saving, he can think about grander things.
If my husband and I didn't have children — if we didn't have to provide for them now or worry about providing for them in the future — our non-mortgage debt would be completely paid off, we'd be paying a lot extra on the mortgage, and maxing out our retirement contributions, all while still having a comfortable amount left over as spending money.
Because we have kids:
- We've chosen to have a larger cash cushion.
- We've delayed paying off our debts.
- We've reduced our retirement contributions.
- We have greater expenses in the form of childcare, clothing, medical needs, and life insurance premiums.
I see us balancing saving for retirement and saving for college (and/or paying for private school) for the next 20 years. If we didn't have kids and didn't have to perform this balancing act, I think we'd be making reservations for an Alaskan cruise right about now!
I do not regret having children. You could never put a price on the intangible privilege of bringing new life into this world, the joy they bring into my life, or the way they make me a better person. I wouldn't change a single thing about my life.
My point is simply that this is the kind of financial ramification I didn't think about before my children were born. Sure, I knew kids were expensive. But if I'd realized how much harder reaching the third stage of personal finance would be after having kids, I think I would have been even more diligent about paying off our loans and building up savings first.
In fairness to myself, I don't think that I could have fully realized or appreciated the financial impact of having one child — let alone two. At the moment, each child costs us about $800 per month. That's the total amount for childcare, health insurance, and the additional life insurance policies that we took out when they were born. That's $1600 that we spend each month before adding in the cost of food, clothing, toys, entertainment, etc.
When you add the additional "savings" cost for future education, it's easy to see why I don't feel we're even remotely close to the third stage of personal finance — notwithstanding how well we're doing and have done with the fundamentals. But I'm confident we'll get there — eventually.

SOURCE: LifeSci Advisors
February 07, 2014 09:15 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2014) - LifeSci Advisors, LLC announcement for Cynapsus Therapeutics, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CTH) (OTCQX: CYNAF)
LifeSci Advisors, LLC, a leading provider of investment research and investor relations services in the life sciences sector, today announced that it has initiated coverage of Cynapsus Therapeutics, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CTH) (OTCQX: CYNAF), a company developing APL-130277, a unique thin-film sublingual formulation of apomorphine to treat freezing episodes in Parkinson's disease. The sublingual strip is intended to replace a painful subcutaneous injection that is currently the only available rescue therapy for these episodes. The Company recently reported positive results from a Phase I pharmacokinetic study. Pivotal efficacy studies in apomorphine-naïve and apomorphine-experienced PD patients are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014, followed by a safety study in 2015, leading to a potential regulatory filing in early 2016.
"The sublingual strip that Cynapsus is developing has the potential to substantially improve the treatment of 'off' episodes for Parkinson's patients while also helping them avoid painful injections," said Andrew I. McDonald, Ph.D., Founding Partner at LifeSci Advisors. "Injection site reactions and the difficulty of self-administration have hampered subcutaneous apomorphine, and created an unmet medical need. The sublingual formulation has much greater potential to penetrate the market."
On January 13 Cynapsus reported positive results from a Phase I, CTH-103, comparing the pharmacokinetic profile of three doses of sublingual apomorphine to subcutaneous injections. Results showed a stronger safety profile for APL-130277 as compared to subcutaneous injection, which should enable Cynapsus to pursue a differentiated label from injectable apomorphine with possibly better safety claims under 505(b)(2) regulatory approval.
In a 35 page Initiation Report by LifeSci Advisors, we explain the potential advantages of Cynapsus' sublingual formulation of apomorphine over the subcutaneous injection and other products in development. The report explores the scientific basis for using apomorphine to treat 'off' episodes in Parkinson's disease patients. The addressable market is discussed, as well as the potential for APL-130277 to increase the number of patients using apomorphine to treat these episodes.
Dr. McDonald's full Initiation Report is available to download at no cost at the LifeSci Advisors website, www.lifesciadvisors.com. In addition to this Initiation Report, LifeSci Advisors will also provide ongoing coverage and event-based research updates on the Company as developments occur.
The LifeSci Advisors research team is led by Dr. Andrew I. McDonald, an industry veteran with more than 15 years of healthcare industry experience. Prior to co-founding LSA, Dr. McDonald was the Senior Biotechnology Analyst at Great Point Partners, a leading health care investment firm with over $500 million under management. Before Great Point, he was Co-Head of Healthcare Research and Lead Biotechnology Analyst at ThinkEquity Partners, a boutique investment banking firm focused on growth companies. Dr. McDonald holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of California, Irvine, and, earlier in his career, worked as a medicinal chemist at both Pfizer and Cytokinetics.

The Missouri Community Forestry Council (MCFC) is committed to urban and community forestry issues in Missouri. The Council meets regularly to advise the State of Missouri on the best ways to preserve, protect, expand and improve our urban and community forests.
Six active regions make up the State Council. Members meet bi-monthly in each region to discuss local tree management and carry out projects. Representatives from each region then attend the State meetings to share ideas and problems on a larger scale. Because many entities are interested in and advocate for Missouri's community forests, a number of them are also represented on MCFC as "at-large members." You can find a list of all officers, representatives and at-large members below.
"Stewardship for Missouri's Community Forests" is a mission held true by the Missouri Community Forestry Council. Hosting an annual education and networking conference, acknowledging good community forestry programs with the Missouri Arbor Award of Excellence, and supporting the efforts of other pro-active tree organizations are a few of the outstanding efforts by the Missouri Community Forestry Council.
Looking for information on tree care, planting, selection... ? Check out our extensive LINKS for all this and more.WANT TO KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR TREES TO YOURSELF AND THE ENVIRONMENT?You can check them out on our "Experts Speak" page with the Tree Benefit Calculator!
The duty of MCFC is to seek the broadest possible involvement of representatives from entities and persons involved in community forestry matters, and after thorough discussion and study, to arrive at consensus on matters relating to good urban forestry policies.
If you are interested in becoming a part of the Missouri Community Forestry Council, contact the regional representative for your area. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Check out "Tree Care Blog" on this site for latest and best practices for trees.
Missouri Community Forestry Council recognizes that trees are a vital component of our towns and cities. Trees have the unique ability to provide these benefits: Increased property value, improved air quality, energy savings, protection for watersheds, wildlife habitat, green balance for hard surfaces and individual identity for each community.
Creating a healthy urban forest takes planning, good management and public support, but the result is well-worth the effort. The rise in Tree City USA communities throughout the state is a sign that Missouri is working hard for urban and community forestry.
Surveys show that our community trees are in decline nationwide. Trees are being lost in our towns faster than they are being planted. Many trees receive no care or improper care, such as topping. Some trees become hazardous; newly planted trees are often neglected and die; some trees will cause future problems because they were planted in the wrong place.
Communities must be dedicated to their urban forests. MCFC offers much assistance with this; from recommending certified arborists to promoting a nationwide anti-topping campaign.

"Choosing a family vehicle is an important decision. It should be affordable, reliable, efficient, and roomy. MAMA pooled its collective expertise to pick the best family vehicle from a strong group of recent releases, and the Ford Fusion bested them all," said MAMA President Kirk Bell.
Following the award presentation, Andy Goss addressed the crowd to highlight the 2013 Jaguar F-Type and the fourth generation Range Rover.
"We are determined to make Jaguar a much more significant player in the market," said Goss. "Our brand is always about promise; always was and always will be. I can tell you the F-type is the real deal."
The new 2013 model year sedans include the 3.0 liter Jaguar XJ and XF, equipped with a V6 engine and RWD/AWD as well as the 2.0 liter Jaguar XF with a V6 engine and RWD for $50,000. All three F-Type sedans are exclusive high performance vehicles. The fourth generation Range Rover is 700 pounds lighter than other models, making it more efficient than ever. The new 2013 F-Type and fourth generation Range Rover are just two examples of what Jaguar Land Rover is working on today and a hint of where the company is headed in the future.

Hi everyone! What an awesome site, so happy to have found it! I'm Jodi and recently moved to panhandle of Florida. My husband and I have been eating vegan in our home for several months now and we are enjoying it.
I was wondering if anyone out there might have some advice or be able to point me in the right direction?
Due to health complications and a misdiagnosis (drama for another post!) I was put on medications last year that caused me to gain weight. Unfortunately, simply stopping the medication did not cause weight loss. Fortunately this prompted us to adopt much healthier eating habits.
Now that we are settled into our home I am highly motivated to lose the weight and want to enter a bikini level competition. Prior to my illness I was lifting weights regularly (and had been since I was a teenager). I am wondering where I get started. I probably need to lose around 30 pounds of fat should I be training differently than if I were just preparing for a competition? Also, I was thinking a year out should be ample time to prepare is this being too optimistic?
Any help or direction is very greatly appreciated!!
Hello from Florida!
Introduce yourself. Tell us about your training history, how long you've been vegan, share some of your goals and some of your interests.

Hey Jodi, welcome to our community here. I think you will fit right it with like-minded people. If you have specific weight loss goals I may be able to help, PM me, I run a personalized meal planning program.
Also definitely check through the journals section of this forum. Lots of people post their training logs there as well as log what they are eating.

Parker Dismissed From Florida State
Feb. 2, 2009
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Preston Parker's troubled football career at Florida State is over after his second arrest in less than a year.
Coach Bobby Bowden announced the junior receiver was dismissed from the team Monday in a one-sentence statement released by the school.
The 21-year-old Parker, from Delray Beach, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after Tallahassee police found him asleep in his running car early Saturday.
The police report said Parker admitted he had been drinking and smoking marijuana. It was the third time Parker has been arrested since 2006.
Parker was suspended for the first two games of the 2008 season after being arrested last April in Palm Beach County on weapons and drug charges. One of the charges was a felony that was later reduced as part of an agreement on a guilty plea by Parker. He was sentenced to 50 hours of community service, a year's probation and weekly drug testing.
Parker was also arrested in 2006 after police said he tried to steal a DVD from Best Buy. The charge was dismissed after he entered a diversionary program and paid $200 in court costs.
Parker's dismissal comes two days before national signing day, when major college football programs such as Florida State unveil their latest recruiting classes.
Florida State is also expecting to hear from the NCAA on sanctions for an academic cheating scandal that resulted in the suspension of more than five dozen athletes, including some football players, at the school for some games.
Parker, who also played running back and returned kicks, caught 104 passes for 1,189 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons.
Parker's dismissal, combined with Greg Carr's departure after four productive seasons at Florida State, means the Seminoles will be relying heavily on underclassmen at wide receiver next season.
Taiwan Easterling and Bert Reed combined for 53 catches good for 617 yards and four touchdowns as freshman last season.
Parker was freed Sunday from the Leon County Jail on $500 bail.

This is truly amazing ... a very professional well run site. I was in an emergency situation to find a place in New York while living and working Canada. I was too busy to make tons of calls and visit places in person. Not only did I find a great place with a great roommate... my apartment in NYC is cheaper than my rent in Canada!!! Best of all, I exerted very little energy to make it happen - Roommates.com did all the work. - Wayne
AMAZING, I've used this service once in the past and the roommmate I found turned out to be one of the nicest guys I've EVER met. When another of my roommate's moved out I knew I was going to use this again. 2 hours after posting my ad, I had a large number of replies. 8 hours after posting my room has been filled. AMAZING!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! - Ryan

If you had told me a few years ago that Ducati would build a cruiser-segment motorcycle, I probably would have called you a couple cylinders short of a v-twin. Up until recently, mentioning the thought of the Bologna brand chasing after Harley-Davidson riders would have invited fisticuffs in most Italian motorcycle cafés. And even despite the launch of the Ducati Diavel, you can start a heated debate among loyal Ducatisti by bringing up Italy's latest power cruiser.
Make no mistake, the 2011 Ducati Diavel is a controversial motorcycle…and that's putting things lightly (at worst it's a complete dilution of the Ducati brand). If the Diavel is Ducati's deal with the Devil, then let me play the Devil's advocate for a moment, and put forth the business case about why this motorcycle had to be built, and what it means to the Ducati brand — minus the pandering to the Ducati faithful.
